Percentile across ~4,600 US stocks on Ticker Nerd’s systematic factor model. Higher is better. How the model is built and tested
Revisions (100): Analysts have, on balance, been raising their forecasts.
Momentum (58): The shares have been drifting down relative to others.
Size (26): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.
Built and run by Aslam Ghouse, an ex-Goldman Sachs quant trader with fourteen years in markets.
As of October 7, 2026, our factor model ranks Workiva 98.8 of 100, fourth of 199 in application software. Estimate revisions (99.4) carry the rank; quality (88.6), growth (87.0), investment/accruals (90.3) and low volatility (96.3) all sit above 85. Value is middling at 67.8, and the drags are market size (26.2), since the model prefers smaller companies, and momentum (51.5), with a velocity score of 19.7.
The strong model reading sits against a falling price: the shares closed at $71.53 on October 7, 2026, down 16.4% over the previous twelve months. As of October 7, 2026, Wall Street sides with the model: all 11 analysts rate the stock buy or strong buy, with targets from $80 to $105 averaging $89.80. The trailing P/E of 83.5 is based on the last twelve months of earnings; the forward P/E of 17.3 is based on analyst forecasts for next year.
The third-quarter report due November 5, 2026 is the next test, because the rank leans hardest on estimate revisions. Consensus earnings for the current year are $3.36 per share, raised 15.4% over the 90 days to October 6, 2026. A miss against the raised forecasts would cut the revisions score, the single heaviest input to the rank.
